GA Fundraiser

Columbia Engineering to Present
Tournament on August 24 to Benefit Nonprofit Dedicated to Breaking the Cycles
of Homelessness, Poverty and Domestic Violence

Duluth, Ga., March 30, 2020 – Out of an abundance of caution for participants of its annual Second Chance Golf Classic, Rainbow Village is requesting a “mulligan” of its own. Having originally scheduled the fundraising event for May 4, the current Coronavirus Pandemic has necessitated the move to a new date of August 24. Presented by Columbia Engineering for the second year in a row, the Rainbow Village Second Chance Golf Classic will be hosted at TPC Sugarloaf, with a shotgun start of 10 a.m.

“As one of our largest fundraisers of the year, the participation from
sponsors and individual golfers is crucial to our ongoing provision of
transitional housing and life-changing programming to the families we serve,”
explained Rainbow Village CEO, Melanie Conner. “Given the name ‘Second Chance’
to reflect the second chances Rainbow Village provides to families who have
recently escaped situations marred by homelessness, poverty and domestic
violence, the tagline for our golf classic is ‘The Course of Life can be a
Challenge; Sometimes We Need a Mulligan!’ A popular golf term for a do-over
stroke, a mulligan is exactly what we’re requesting as an organization at this
time. The response from companies and individuals who’d signed on for the earlier
date has been overwhelmingly supportive of the change. We’re incredibly blessed
to have such an amazing support system from our local business, civic, family
and faith communities.”

In addition
to Columbia Engineering, sponsors that have signed on to date for the Rainbow Village Second Chance Golf
Classic include: Level Seven Facilities Services; Triad Advisors; Landmark
Landscapes; Motor Cars of Atlanta; Sutter, McLellan & Gilbreath, Inc.; and
Renasant Bank. Additional sponsorship opportunities remain – many of which
include golf foursomes, marketing table and tent on the course, signs on the
course, recognition on LED leader board, inclusion in social media posts and
more.

Lunch,
beverages, snacks and dinner will be provided for each golfer. To view
available sponsorship levels or purchase spots for individual golfers and
foursomes. for the Rainbow Village Second Chance Golf Classic, interested
